1393 The Inheritance 6 (1/1)
”Gu Ruoyun!”
Gu Ruoyun was in the midst of cultivation in the Secret Order's disciples' chambers when someone called her name Just as she opened her eyes, the door to the chareen-robed Yun Yan rushi+ng in frantically
Gu Ruoyun looked at the anxious Yun Yan as she raised her brow
However, with this one action, Yun Yan's body stiffened and he immediately cried out in confusion, ”Leader”
Only the heavens kno reluctant he was to address her in this manner but he had no other choice It was his own fault for losing to this wo such a promise!
The members of the Secret Order have always kept to their word so no o back on his pro?” Gu Ruoyun's eyes swept towards Yun Yan's nervous expression as she asked indifferently
”Oh, it's like this” Yun Yan calmed himself down and said, ”Leader, I'er and I' this, Gu Ruoyun's heart thumped instantly She then furrowed her brows and asked, ”Did so to challenge ain?”
”This is far e” Yun Yan eyed Gu Ruoyun cautiously before he continued, ”Leader, I heard that the Clan Leader has issued an order that they would be selecting the heir to the inheritance once again”
Gu Ruoyun's heart instantly sank to an all-tiant features were filled with a cold and distant air Her expression was indifferent as she said, ”It see back on their word”
This statement caused an embarrassed look to appear on Yun Yan's proud face ”I don't knohat's going on According to the order, only the person who can tame the clan's Sacred Beast will be allowed to accept the inheritance Even though I don't know the truth behind all this, I understand that the Secret Order has always kept their word If the Clan Leader has issued such an order, so must have inevitably happened in the Secret Order”

Yun Yan felt embarrassed as he stared at Gu Ruoyun He wished to say so but he did not knohat In the end, he could only silently walk away
Prior to this, he would probably have rejoiced when he heard about the reselection However, he had pledged his loyalty to Gu Ruoyun with full sincerity after being defeated by her Hence, he now felt a faint sense of dissatisfaction towards the Secret Order's decision
Still, he was only a disciple so how could he determine the Clan Leader's decision? Therefore, no matter how unsatisfied he felt, he had no choice but to suppress it
In the Clan Leader's chambers, Elder Tianren looked at the old woman, who had her eyes closed in meditation, and asked puzzledly, ”Clan Leader, aren't we assessing the Gu girl? Why did you suddenly decide on selecting a new heir to the inheritance?”
The Clan Leader laughed bitterly and opened her eyes She then shook her head exasperatedly, ”This was not my idea, it was the Sacred Beast's decision”
”The Sacred Beast?” Elder Tianren's eyes widened instantly when he heard this He stared at the Clan Leader's elderly face in astonishment as he asked, ”Clan Leader, what did you say? Had the Sacred Beast finally spoken to you?”
The Clan Leader gently closed her eyes After a long paused, she opened theain and replied in a faint voice, ”I don't understand what the Sacred Beast is thinking either It had coave me several instructions As for what it plans to do, I'm not too sure! Besides, in the Secret Order, only the Sacred Lady is allowed to communicate with the Sacred Beast without any hindrance Since the Sacred Lady is away, I' to convey”
